VAGINA
Three highschool girls were suspended for saying the word "vagina" while reading a feminist play, the Vagina Monolgues.

First of all, if they didn't say VAGINA I want to know what they did say. PENIS? or BEAVER? or PUSSY? What exactly were they supposed to say? And why would an anti-feminism highschool board allow the performance of a feminist play that so obviously concentrates on female sexuality? This I don't understand. This is an obvious attempt at censorship and a pretty obvious rejection of feminism. It's a pitty such ignoramuses run high schools.
First of all, VAGINA is a perfectly suitable word for the community to hear. Half of all children have them, all children come out of them, and the community includes vagina-havers among its members. So....why censor it? Oh yes. Not everyone has one. Jealous are we?
